In this role, you will be responsible for community outreach; effectively communicating our brand identity to help us  build and cultivate our supporter base. Adapting the charity’s message for a range of internal and external audiences will be second nature to you. You will be passionate about working closely with volunteers to inform our strategic direction and advocacy efforts. You will bring with you experience of implementing strategic communications,  with knowledge of email marketing, paid-for advertising and social media.  

In a typical week, you might be working with a member of our Youth Panel or Stambassador Network to create content for an upcoming outreach campaign or preparing them for a media appearance. You may be liaising with some of our community fundraisers as they prepare for their upcoming challenge event, and working with the CEO on communicating the impact of our various projects.  

But regardless of the channel or the message, your attention to detail, writing and presentation skills will be flawless, and you’ll bring a creativity and enthusiasm that helps to cultivate our existing supporters and connect with new ones.

It’s an exciting time at Action for Stammering Children, with a refreshed strategy which will see us increase the charity’s reach, impact and engagement with the stammering community more than ever before. This role will be vital to enabling us to deliver that.

Are you ready to lead a values-driven regional charity and social enterprise that helps people to live the lives they choose?

Help & Care has been supporting communities across Dorset and the south coast since 1985. We deliver person-centred services that promote dignity, independence and connection - from dementia coordination and health coaching to our award-winning Roots gardening programme and social prescribing partnerships.

• Partnerships & advocacy: Strengthen senior-level relationships with NHS, local authorities and commissioners; represent Help & Care across systems, media and networks.
• Service quality & impact: Embed rigorous monitoring and evaluation so our outcomes drive commissioning, improve margins and strengthen our reputation.
• People leadership: Inspire, retain and develop a high-performing, compassionate leadership team and workforce.
• Governance & financial stewardship: Provide the Board with timely, high-quality reporting, oversee financial recovery plans, and ensure robust risk and compliance frameworks.

Who you are:

• An experienced CEO or senior director from complex, multi-service health & social care or community organisations.
• Proven track record in winning commissioned contracts, tendering and contract management.
• Skilled at building strategic partnerships and influencing at senior system level.
• Comfortable leading transformation and financial sustainability work, with demonstrable budgeting and forecasting skills.
• A values-led, collaborative leader with high emotional intelligence, resilience and a commitment to social justice and co-production.

Why Help & Care?

• Lead a highly respected regional provider with an outstanding track record of co-production and innovation.
• Shape an organisation poised for growth and greater regional influence.
• Hybrid, home-based working, regular travel across Dorset, and the chance to safeguard vital services for local communities.
